2 accounts at other banks, in 2 currencies, as the bank publishes them: [bcpmiami.com ↗](https://www.bcpmiami.com/en/About/Wire-Transfers)
| Currency | Correspondent | BIC | Account | Purpose | Directory check |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| USD | [Standard Chartered Bank Limited](https://elucidate.co/directory/standard-chartered-bank-scblus33) United States | SCBLUS33 | — | Intermediary bank for USD transfers to BCP Miami | Matches the Swift directory |

The page is the Miami branch's (BCPLUS33, ABA 067015355) wire instructions for incoming payments. It names intermediary banks by currency with BICs but no account numbers. Both rows are extracted. The page still names the office 'Miami Agency', so it may predate the July 2026 branch conversion. No correspondent or SSI list for the Lima head office was found on viabcp.com (footer, investor relations and remittance pages checked) or by search. Each correspondent BIC is checked against the Swift directory: a BIC missing from it, or registered to a differently named bank, may be a typo or out of date. Confirm settlement instructions with the bank before relying on them.

Sources & method
Every value comes from a public source, such as Swift’s ISO 9362 BIC directory, GLEIF or the OFAC and EU sanctions lists. Most sources are matched on a BIC or an LEI, not on a name.
Swift GPI membership is matched on names and is indicative. A missing sanctions match does not mean that no listing applies. Always screen against the official lists.
The sanctions facts on this page cover the BIC and its LEI only.
An institution is one entry in the directory: a BIC8 in Swift’s directory, or a firm on a tracked register that holds no BIC. Licences held by an institution with a BIC are shown on its page.

## Assess the financial crime risk behind a BIC
A BIC identifies an institution; it does not assess it. The [Elucidate FinCrime Index (EFI)](https://elucidate.co/ratings) is an independent score of the financial crime risk of banks, built for correspondent banking and counterparty due diligence.
